BEFORE YOU START

WARNING

Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in ﬁre, property damage and personal injury.
Never locate the grill under an uprotected roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area.
Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction.
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.

IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person making delivery. FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELYregardless of extent of damage.
IMPORTANT NOTES
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is added. This drop in pressure aff ects grill performance. (See: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for further details.)
BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
The Lynx Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures.
NOTE: Lynx built-in grills are intended either for installation in a built-in enclosure constructed of non-combustible materials or for an installation in a built in enclosure constructed of combustible material when installed with a Lynx insulating jacket (LIJ). For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See: “Gas Requirements”) and hangs from its counter-top trim. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure, the jacket must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side or a full deck beneath the jacket.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and ﬁ le a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit. (See: “Obtaining Service from Lynx” for further details.)
ARE YOU “ON THE LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and ineffi cient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side. (See: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to the provisions shown for gas line hook-up. The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and counter should be ﬂat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems).
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certiﬁ ed outlet be installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

BEFORE YOU START con’t

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to adjacent combustible construction below the counter top surface is 12” from the sides and back.
Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to adjacent combustible construction extending above the counter top surface is 18” from the sides and back.
Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead combustible surfaces.
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available only from your Lynx dealer. Lynx insulated jackets have been designed and tested speciﬁ cally for your Grill.
REAR HOOD CLEARANCE
A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to allow the griddle plate to open fully. The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this exhaust will be diffi cult to clean.

OVERHEAD PROTECTION AND EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under any combustible construction the cooking area over the grill must be covered with an exhaust hood. The hood must provide 3-6 inches of overhang on all
exposed sides. The exhaust hood shall provide no less than 1,200 CFM for proper exhaust ventilation. The hood must be approved for outdoor installation and provided
with a dedicated GFCI protected branch circuit.

CUTOUT SPECIFICATIONS

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY

The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor assembly.
By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps, you will improve the customer’s ﬁ rst Lynx experience. Shipping weight on smaller units is app. 300 pounds and
larger units may weigh over 500 pounds.

WARNING EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
Use two or more people to move or install this unit. Failure to follow this instruction can result in back or other personal injuries.

CRATE & CARTON
IMPORTANT! Do not remove staples around the top of the carton. These staples hold a wooden pallet in place inside the carton that protects the unit from damage. Removing these staples may cause the pallet to fall on the top of grill.
How to Remove the Carton

Cut the main strap holding the grill to the pallet.
Remove the staples at the bottom of the carton.
Liftoff thecarton. There is a pallet over the grill for hood protection.
With assistance, remove the grill from the pallet and place into desired location.

The wheels sit down in the gaps of the shipping crate so that the grill can sit safely and solidly on the crate during shipping. The grill cannot be slid directly off of the pallet.

One way to safely move the grill off of the pallet is by lifting one end of the grill high enough to place a ramp under the wheel and then lift the other end while rolling the grill off of the pallet.

When pushing, lifting, or pulling a freestanding Lynx Grill across gravel, grass, pavers, brick, stone, imperfections in the surface, or wood slatted decks be cautious and move slowly or use a carpet dolly. Failure to do so may damage the structure of the cart which will not be covered under warranty.

INTERIOR PACKING
Lynx uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps to ensure your grill arrives at your home in the same condition that it left our factory. BE SURE YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL TIE DOWNS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL.

Cut and remove ties from the burner partition of the Trident TM burner.
Ensure that all burners are properly seated on the burner valve oriﬁ ce and sitting level with the legs in the frame slots and no side-to-side movement.

GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating plate

The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas type . This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following places:

Attached to the underside of the stainless steel cover
On the care and use manual

Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas other than that for which the grill has been set.

Fuel	WC Max Inlet	WC Min Under Full Load
Nat Gas	10 in	4 in
LP	14 in	11 in

Water Column Requirements
Both the regulator and the man ifold oriﬁ ces have been tuned for the type of gas speciﬁ ed on the rating plate. Converting to a diff erent type of gas requires a conversion
kit, available from Lynx or from your dealer and must be installed by a qualiﬁ ed technician or certiﬁ ed plumber. All installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada.
Lynx recommends that only qualiﬁ ed professionals perform the required plumbing on this product.

NATURAL GAS
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gas-ﬁ red equipment that will be connected to that line.
In no case should an inlet pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.

Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to “ Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run distances for
¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce performance of the grill and any other appli
ances running on that supply line.
Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See: “BTU Output” for speciﬁ c model outputs)
A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location,away from the grill and island location by a qualiﬁ ed plumber.
Keep threading compound off of the ﬁ rst two pipe threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or oriﬁ ce. Do not use threading compound on any ﬂare ﬁttings. For built-in installations, it is recommended that any ﬂexible pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See: “Gas Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)

GAS CONNECTIONS con’t

For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile ﬂex gas line. Always keep the line away from the ﬁrebox.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer.
LP GAS
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. (Type 1). All ﬁ ttings necessary to attach the assem bly to the grill are included.

Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator. (Lynx P/N 30781)
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the
plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regula tor fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The LP setting can be further identiﬁ ed by the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change from one gas to the other simply push the plunger to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then replace the cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.

WARNING
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use any other assembly than the one supplied with your Lynx grill.
Do not attempt to use a SLP-A equipped regulator/ hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
Never ﬁ ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a ﬁre causing death or serious injury may occur.

LP CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accor dance with the speciﬁ cations for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental movement.

When exchanging your cylinder for a reﬁ ll, exhange only for a Type 1 2016 cylinder with an over-ﬁll protection device.

Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See : “Leak Test” for further details.).
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must be stored outside.

GAS CONNECTIONS con’t

Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupler, ﬁ rst make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off . Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.
Always leak-test the connection after reﬁ lling or exchanging LP cylinders. (See “Leak Test” for further details.)

GAS LINE PURGING
You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the grill.

Make sure all grill controls are in the “OFF” position.
Slowly turn on the main gas supply.
Wait about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge and the burner to light
Wait at least 5 minutes after shutting off the control before attempting to light the burners.

NG AND LP BUILT-IN INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROOUNDING

Product installation must meet local electric codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.662005.
Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.
Do not use this outdoor cooking appliance if it has been submerged under water without thorough inspection by a qualiﬁ ed technician.
This grill is equipped with a three prong (grounding) electric plug for your protection against shock hazard and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong outlet. Never cut or remove the ground ing prong from this plug.
Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and ap proved for outdoor use with a “W-A” marking.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of the power cord, an extension cord or any plugs in water or other liquid.
Unplug the product from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.
Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

CONNECTION TO AC
Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the grill.
The GFI out let features an internal breaker that reduces shock hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician either inside the island enclosure for
built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit will be used.
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have tripped, requiring a reset. See the Troubleshooting section for more details.

FINAL CHECKS

DANGER
To prevent ﬁ re or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using ﬁ re or ﬂ ame.

LEAK TEST PROCEDURE

Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
Conﬁrm that all control knobs are in the off position.
Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve handle 1/ 4 turn to align with the gas ﬂ ow.
For L.P., turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one full rotation.
Apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on all connections and ﬁ ttings.
If bubbles appear to “grow” on any of the connections, you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply.

FIXING A GAS LEAK

Shutoff the gas supply
Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to purge the grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back “OFF”.
Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry
Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with manu factu rer-recommended replacement parts.
DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it
is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to REPLACE IT.
Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.

NOTE: The Trident TM does not have an air shutter.
The appearance of the Trident TM burner should be visually checked. The ceramic tiles should be uniformly red to orange in appearance. There should be no lifting, ﬂ uttering or lazy blue ﬂ ames.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure the owner knows where the main gas supply shut off valve is located.
Before leaving, check all the burners for proper operation.
Make sure the control knobs turn freely and completely through their full range.
Finally, for safety and for proper use & care, you must leave this manual with the owner. Make sure you advise them to keep it for future reference.

PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST

COLD WEATHER WARNING: PROPANE
Extremely cold temperatures may cause your Trident ™ burners to light inside the burners instead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a ‘whooshing’ sound, immediately turn the burner knobs off to extinguish the ﬂame and then immediately re-light the burners.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your grill. Please be sure that:

All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the burners. (See: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.)
You have fuel connected. (See: “Gas Requirements” for
_fucther details.)
-ou have electric connected. (See: “Electric Requirements” for further details.)
A qualiﬁ ed plumber has performed a leak test on all the ﬁttings that supply fuel to your grill.

AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should check the burners, venturis, oriﬁ ces and valves for obstructions. Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and can disrupt air ﬂow, causing damage to the grill and personal injury. Also, check all hoses and ﬁ ttings for damage, abrasion, wear and tear.

BEFORE EACH USE
Before any use, always make sure that:

… you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualiﬁ ed plumber check for leaks.
… the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, besides your food, that might ignite.
… the control knobs turn freely.
… if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely connected and leak tested. (See: “LP Cylinder Requirements” for details.)
… you know where the main gas supply shut-off is located.
… the burners are seated properly in the grill. The main burners must sit level and ﬁ rmly on the burner mounting support frame. (See: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.)

LIGHTING YOUR GRILL

WARNING
1. Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE THE GRILL IS LIT.

ELECTRIC IGNITION

Before each use, comple the checklist above.
Remove the cover.
Make sure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position.
Push in the power/shut-off button. The blue LED lights above the knobs will indicate that the grill is energized.
Turn the knob to the desired position. The blue burner indicator light will glow when the clurner is on. The blue burne indicator light will shutt OFF when the burner temperature set point is met. The blue light will cycle blue ON/OFF during normal operation. The blue LED light above the knobs will indicate that the grill is on.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.

NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING
Ensure all zip ties have been removed from the burners.
Avoid wearing loose-ﬁ tting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.
Never touch the grill surface or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while grilling.
Use an insulated glove or mitt when operating the grill.
Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
Inspect the LP hose before each use. If the hose shows excessive wear or abrasion, or the hose is cutit must be replaced with a hose assembly available from Lynx Grills.
Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause splattering. Any damage caused as a result or by the grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
Never grill without the drip pans in place. Always ensure the drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a ﬁ re or explosion.
Grease is extremely ﬂ ammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
Never operate the grill while under the inﬂ uence of alcohol or drugs.
Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, and wait ﬁ ve
(5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
Portable L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the L.P. cylinder after each use. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves and oriﬁ ces of a grill, disrupting the gas ﬂ ow. This very dangerous condition can cause a ﬁ re behind the control panel, damaging the grill and risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and oriﬁ ces.

WARNING
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING THE PRE-HEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY TIME WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY PROPERLY INSTALLED.

BASIC GRILLING

PRE-HEATING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre- heating allows the griddle to properly heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results.
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, and setting them to the desired cooking temperature.
NOTE: Only heat the grill to the maximum setting when you plan on cooking at that temperature. Once heated, the grill will retain heat for long time. Set the temperature for your desired food items. The temperature controller indicator lights will turn off when the grill reaches the temperature set point.

COOKING ON THE GRIDDLE PLATE

Push in the Pow er/Shutoff button. The BLUE burner knob lights will show that the grill is energized
Turn the knob clockwise to the desired position.
The indicator lights will glow until the grill reaches the temperature set point. The indicator lights and burners will cycle OF and ON under normal operation to maintain the temperature setting.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)

STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the ﬁ nest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps:

After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters.
Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the grates and burners clean and ready for use.
Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner* to clean and polish the exterior surfaces. Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount of eff ort required. Part of the appeal of your Lynx Grill is the ﬁ ne grain ﬁ nish. When removing stubborn stains:
Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain.
Some household cleaning products* are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on your Lynx Grill.
Always use the mildest cleaning solution ﬁ rst, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the appearance of rust. To remove these baked-on foods use a ﬁ ne to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel. Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before you allow the use of such chemicals near your grill.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of a Lynx Grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:

Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. (Micro ﬁ ber cloths such perform very well).
Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp grill.
In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill. Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCI™) protect the surface very well.
For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the grill is dry and then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the
surfaces.

THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH OF PARTS THAT RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
After your ﬁrst use certain areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners – this is normal and cannot be cleaned off . For light and heavy food stains there are many diff erent stainless steel cleaners available.

DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip trays by tilting forward and up, lifting them out of place. They can be wiped down with a paper towel and placed in a dishwasher for cleaning.
*RATED FOR HIGH HEAT

CLEANING YOUR GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)’

WARNING

Failure to perform required maintenance will void your warranty.
Scrape the griddle plate and discard the residue.
Clean out the burner oriﬁ ces and ensure they are free of debris.
Clean the drip tray.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR LYNX GRILL
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Please check a few things before calling for service:

Is there fuel supplied to the grill?
Is the main shut-off valve open?
Are you using the correct type of fuel? (LP or Natural Gas)(See: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently reﬁ lled the propane cylinder? If so, is the connection tight?
Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder?
Is the grill plugged in to a live electric circuit?
If you’ve checked the above items, review the potential problems on the following pages before calling for Lynx for service.

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
GRILL WILL NOT LIGHT
First, conﬁ rm that the grill is getting electricity by turning on the lights, then:
Check The lgniters
Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does not spark. Instead, the igniters will glow constantly when a control knob is turned ON. Check The Burners

Ensure that all burner controls are off .
Lift open the cooking surface.
Turn the burner knob ON and wait approximately 1 minute for the igniter to glow.
If the igniter fails to glow, proceed with troubleshooting.
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the burners by attempting to match light a burner.
If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check fuel connections for leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is of adequate pressure. (See: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may not be functioning correctly. Call for service.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the burner and check it for blockages.

SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKNG
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
Perform a leak test (See: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS con’t

GLOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Ensure that you’ve preheated the Trident TM burner for at least 10-15 minutes.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and ineffi cient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should
be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.

If the low heat problem persists:

Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
Replace any damaged supply lines.
Check the regulator. Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one designed for and supplied with your Lynx grill and that it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See: “Regulator Conversionfor further details.). The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if your grill is set-up for a portable LP Gas Cylinder. Ensure the LP hose is not behind the ﬁ rebox. Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to the regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regulator contains a ﬂexible diaphragm and should not be allowed to touch the grill body or its surroundings.
Check for Obstructions. Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and free from obstructions.

LP (Propane) units:

Is they cylinder almost empty? Almost-empty cylinders may not have suffi cient pressure to run the burners at high heat.
Have the line pressure checked by a qualiﬁ ed technician (See: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
Flow Limiting Device. Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP cylinder’s ﬂow control device, reducing the heat output.

To reset the ﬂow control:

Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder valve.
Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder valve.
Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.

Bulk LP cylinder users:

Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator supplied by Lynx and converted to LP gas. Also ensure that you do not have more than one regulator in line.

Natural Gas units:

Supply Line. Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter.
Ch3eck line pressure. Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 7” W.C. and manifold pressure not less than 4” W.C. under full load (with all burners on.)
Check burners for blockages.

LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE

Check Power. Ensure that the grill is connected to a live AC power source and check for rotisserie motor operation.
If the grill is connected to live AC power and lights will not illuminate, contact service.
